However, Bai Zhijin and Huo Junyang seemed quite satisfied with the current situation.
For the past two years, the two have been drawing together, selling copyrights together, adapting works together, and even directing animation together, keeping themselves extremely busy. They support each other in their careers and share joys in everyday life.
When two artists get together, they inevitably argue heatedly about their respective artistic ideas.
Several times, Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian thought that the two of them were going to have a complete falling out.
But unexpectedly, the two who were fighting like cocks a second ago were laughing carefree the next second, and the whole studio was filled with sunshine.
Jiang Mianmian asked her daughter, "Have you said everything your mother taught you?"
Huo Jiayuan nodded very seriously.
"What was your second uncle's reaction?"
"Hmm..." Huo Jiayuan pouted and thought for a long time, "It seems like those words didn't work on Second Uncle!"
"What?" Jiang Mianmian was stunned.
Huo Junyu smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, "Never mind, take it slow! I don't think Yangyang is that stubborn."
"But he and Zhijin have been dragging this out for so long..."
"It's alright." Huo Junyu raised an eyebrow and looked at his daughter, "Yuan Yuan, who are you going to hold hands with when you get out of kindergarten tomorrow?"
Huo Jiayuan was munching on a cream cake when she heard her father's words. She immediately perked up, raised her cat-like face, and replied, "PE teacher!"
"That's right!"
The father and daughter gave each other a big high five.
However, the next day when school was over, Huo Junyang appeared at the kindergarten gate on time.
He looked different today. He usually only likes polo shirts and jeans, but today he surprisingly wore a well-tailored and handsome suit. Even his hair was carefully styled, unlike the frizzy hair he usually has when he's painting.
In terms of looks, physique, and stature, Huo Junyang is considered to be among the best of the Huo family's generation. Inheriting the excellent genes of his maternal grandfather, who was known as the most handsome man in Southeast Asia, he is naturally quite good-looking.
In addition, his unique artistic temperament makes him stand at the kindergarten gate, attracting the attention of many mothers.
Huo Junyang craned his neck, straining to see into the kindergarten, but all the other children had left before he finally spotted the little princess.
But the little princess was accompanied by a tall, handsome man...
"Hey, Yuan Yuan!" Huo Junyang waved hurriedly.
Huo Jiayuan walked out holding the PE teacher's hand. Huo Junyang recognized this "love rival" at a glance, and couldn't help but pout, even his eyes changed.
Last night, he specifically asked someone to investigate this physical education teacher—he was 1.9 meters tall, and he heard that he used to be on the volleyball team before retiring and coming to teach at this international kindergarten. Huo Junyang carefully sized him up; he was tall and well-proportioned, and his looks were so-so, barely angular and masculine.
But he lacks the right temperament; he looks like a brute and doesn't deserve Bai Zhijin!
Huo Junyang stood there angrily, staring at him with a very unfriendly gaze.
The innocent physical education teacher felt a chill seep from his spine.
When Huo Jiayuan arrived at the kindergarten gate, she saw her second uncle and looked around but couldn't find Aunt Zhijin. Her big, cute eyes immediately widened in surprise.
"Hello, teacher." Despite his resentment, Huo Junyang maintained a polite demeanor. "Thank you for your hard work. Leave Yuan Yuan to me!"
Huo Junyang stretched out his hand, his usual playful demeanor replaced by an extremely serious expression.
Huo Jiayuan had never seen her second uncle like this before, and she hid behind her teacher in fear.
Seeing that Huo Jiayuan's reaction was off, the PE teacher, out of a sense of responsibility for the child, asked Huo Junyang in a low voice, "May I ask who you are...?"
"I am her second uncle!"
The PE teacher thought for a moment, then squatted down and asked softly, "Yuan Yuan, do you know him?"
Huo Junyang frowned. "Hey, you! Don't you believe me?"
"I'm so sorry," the PE teacher said with a polite smile. "It's the kindergarten's rule; we have to be responsible for every child. Yuan Yuan was always picked up by bodyguards and nannies before, sometimes by her parents, sometimes by her grandparents, or even by her maternal grandparents, and sometimes by her uncle and Aunt Niannian, but never by her second uncle... So, I had to ask carefully; I can't hand the child over to strangers!"
Huo Junyang was speechless.
He hadn't come to pick up his niece; he wouldn't have bothered if he hadn't wanted to see what his rival looked like.
"Yuanyuan, do you know him?" the PE teacher asked again.
Huo Junyang gave Huo Jiayuan a wink.
Huo Jiayuan pouted, looking completely bewildered.
Huo Junyang made a face at her, baring his teeth, and then made a gesture as if he were choking her.
This is how I usually play at home.
Huo Junyang and Huo Jiayuan's way of getting along is like a three-year-old and a four-year-old, fighting over toys, food, paintbrushes and sketchbooks, and sometimes they even start to wrestle.
Huo Jiayuan could never win against her second uncle, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet.
But today, it seems like the chance for revenge has arrived...
Huo Jiayuan's big eyes darted around, and she gave a mischievous smile. Staring at Huo Junyang, she clearly uttered three words: "Don't know him!"
"What?!" Huo Junyang almost jumped up. "You brat!"
He stepped forward to grab her braid, but the PE teacher thought he was going to snatch the child! So, with quick reflexes, the PE teacher grabbed Huo Junyang's wrist and threw him away forcefully!
"Ah!" Huo Junyang cried out in pain and staggered back several steps.
Before he could react, the PE teacher quickly hugged Huo Jiayuan tightly, looked at him warily, and shouted that the kindergarten security guards with stun guns surrounded them.
Huo Junyang's mind went blank.
"What...what are you trying to do? I just wanted to pick up a child!"
"You've got some nerve, you human trafficker, daring to set your sights on the Huo family's youngest daughter!"
"I'm not..." Huo Junyang was both amused and exasperated.
"I don't care if you are right or wrong, let's talk at the police station!"
"Stop hitting him!" Just as the security guards were about to attack Huo Junyang, a cry suddenly rang out, "Stop hitting him! Don't hit my second uncle!"
Huo Jiayuan realized she had really messed up, and started crying in fear, waving her little hands and calling out "Second Uncle, Second Uncle" repeatedly.
The PE teacher was taken aback. "Yuan Yuan, you mean this person is..."
Huo Jiayuan sobbed, "He's my second uncle...he really is my second uncle!"
"But why did you say no just now?"
“Because…because,” Huo Jiayuan looked at Huo Junyang, “my second uncle always bullies me at home, and I’m angry with him!”
"Alright, alright, little princess, I apologize!" Huo Junyang smiled helplessly.
"And another thing!" Huo Jiayuan pouted, "Aunt Zhijin didn't come to pick me up today, and I'm also angry with Second Uncle!"
Huo Junyang's eyes widened, he scratched his head, and said with a wry smile, "Little darling, you can't just blame everything on your second uncle! Is your second uncle's head like a stove?"
